Small Find – Triangular Flint Arrowhead

Thetford Warren Lodge, Norfolk

Recovered near to Thetford Warren Lodge, Norfolk, this triangular arrowhead is made of dark flint, neatly pressure flaked. Some authorities have suggested that triangular arrowheads might be unfinished blanks for barbed and tanged arrowheads. This example certainly does have that appearance – the point may have snapped off during preparation. I would date it somewhere around 4,800 and 4,000 years before present.
